حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَيْدٍ عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ خِرِّيتٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ قَالَ خَطَبَنَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ يَوْمًا بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ حَتَّى غَرَبَتْ الشَّمْسُ وَبَدَتْ النُّجُومُ وَعَلِقَ النَّاسُ يُنَادُونَهُ الصَّلَاةَ وَفِي الْقَوْمِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ الصَّلَاةَ الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ فَغَضِبَ قَالَ أَتُعَلِّمُنِي بِالسُّنَّةِ شَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَمَعَ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَوَجَدْتُ فِي نَفَسِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَوَافَقَهُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2269
It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Shaqeeq said: Ibn 'Abbas (RA) addressed us one day after 'Asr, until the sun set and the stars came out, and the people started calling: The prayer, the prayer! Among the people was a man of Banu Tameem, who started saying: The prayer, the prayer. He got angry and said: Are you teaching me the Sunnah ? I was present and saw the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) put together Zuhr and 'Asr, and Maghrib and 'Isha'. 'Abdullah said: I was not sure about that, so when I met Abu Hurairah I asked him, and he confirmed it.
